Banner is the data system wherein all electronic personnel records are stored and from
which Payroll is generated. ODS is the data storehouse that is used for writing reports from
the Banner data. Included are records of employees, retirees, former employees, student
workers, and former student workers. Certain employees of CSM have jobs whose duties
include the entry, processing and use of these electronic records. Many of these records
contain personal information about employees and are confidential and private. Additionally,
because the system creates pay, access to records must be limited and monitored. Access
may only be granted if the access is consistent with appropriate separation-of-duties
safeguards, as well as with internal policies and procedures regulating the entry, use or
viewing of such records. Employees whose jobs require working with or using the data
contained within the HRS or Banner systems will be given access only to that information
necessary for the performance of their jobs.
